Banned character concepts are ones that do not belong on this game and will not be accepted, ever.
BANNED:
Original characters who have been in close, intimate relationships with main characters, ESPECIALLY main characters who would not likely to be dating anyone any time soon, such as Megatron or Optimus Prime.
Characters with backgrounds that heavily use multiple main characters. Some mild use is fine, but don't overdo it.
Characters that are simply thinly veiled remakes of characters from other themes.
Anything from Kiss-Players. If you don't know what this is, be thankful.
Completely insane, psychotic, unreasonable character personalities.
Anything relating to channeling any kind of "mystical" force or energy.
Demons, gods, spirits, angels, etc.
Transformers who are or who act like infants or toddlers.
City-Formers.
Overly sex-obsessed or pornographic characters. There's a difference between being a crude, horny jerk character and being a yaoi fangirl stalking Starscream or Knock Out.
Dark Energon concepts or weapons.
Iacon Relic-users.
Transformers who don't have Transformer-styled names. Humans who don't have regular human names, like the kind you'd find in a phone book.
At the moment, the following character concepts are restricted - that is to say, we only want a few of them and players who get them will have to be careful not to abuse their power or unique abilities:
RESTRICTED:
Predenders, Headmasters, Targetmasters, etc. We're still working these out.
Non-Insecticon animal altmodes.
OC Predacons. These are pretty rare character types.
Overly warmongering / kill-em-all-let-Primus-sort-em-out OC
Autobots. Freedom fighters usually aren't kill freaks.
Overly wild, youthful, "cute", and careless OC Autobots. Yes, the Autobots are the good guys, but they are still at war.
"Being evil is wrong!" OC Decepticons. You don't have to be evil to be a Decepticon. But you can't be against being evil if you want to last very long in the faction.
Crazies. Some mild mental disorders are fine as long as they're specific and don't make your character completely insane. Things like manias, phobias, and mild paranoia at most.
Characters with Multiple Personalities.
Characters with concepts that are designed to be excessively anti-social (living weapons, ultra-extreme loners, etc)
Characters with multiple functions; For example, no Medic/Spy/Warriors all in one. If you are apping for multiple functions, make the coupled functions make sense together.
"Child" type transformers.
These character concepts are in over-abundance and are less likely to be accepted. Pick something else if you can.
OVERDONE:
Decepticons. Srsly.
Crazy/berserk warriors.
Underdone concepts are ones we REALLY want to see more of. They're gonna have an easier time being accepted (but that doesn't mean a free pass).
UNDERDONE:
Autobots. Especially FC Autobots.
Humans. Particularly EDC/Nest/Team Prime humans.
Characters that use ranged weapons, like guns, instead of melee weapons. Melee fighters are fairly rare on Cybertron at least because, well, knife to a gun fight...
